📢New paper alert about EEG biomarker of vestibular perception! Our data suggest: (A) theta-band suppression links to self-motion perception; (B) alpha-band suppression links to sensory vestibular signalling. 🔗: doi.org/10.1016/j.brai… Imperial Department of Brain Sciences

Using a cognitive vection paradigm, we induce illusory self-motion in this pilot study. Via yaw-plane whole body rotations, we aimed to identify cortical activations representing sensory and perceptual vestibular processing. Graphical Abstract from doi.org/10.1016/j.brai…

So much more to do, and TBI-REPORTER will have a key role in future res

Excited to share our last study exploring how MRgFUS impacts the vestibular system, potentially paving the way for new therapies In Parkinson’s disease and TBI. Proud to contribute to this important work! Imperial Department of Brain Sciences Barry Seemungal 🇬🇧 🇹🇹 Vestibular Neurology Research Group

We are closing our major trauma survey on vestibular service provision for adults next week - we’ve had great responses - thank you! We are just missing Sheffield and North Staffs MTCs so please do complete it imperial.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eL…

Great to see colleagues European Academy of Neurology in wonderful Helsinki. With Alex Tarnutzer, my neuro-otology/ophthalmology co-chair at EAN chairs' meeting. Great to chat with Kailash Bhatia, EAN President-elect! Hard to think Kailash, I was your registrar c. 20yrs ago. Good times!

It’s good to be in Wisconsin with my friend Tim Walz! Tune in as we talk about what’s at stake in this election. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Congratulations to our Dr Nir Grossman for receiving £4.1m of ARIA funding! The award is to will help develop technology capable of precisely stimulating deep brain regions implicated in neurodegenerative diseases. 👉imperial.ac.uk/news/260073/im…

Check out this work from Smith et al. investigating the views of both clinicians and patients in those with post-traumatic BPPV. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Have you seen bilateral BPPV after traumatic brain injury? In one study 34% of patients w/ acute mod-to-severe TBI developed BPPV, and 39.6% of those were bilateral (Smith et al., 2024). 😱 v1st.co/BSee25 to register for upcoming Journal Club on BPPV after TBI. #bppv

Can a brainstem reflex tell us how well you balance? Our new study shows that prepulse inhibition varies with postural load—opening the door to use PPI as a potential marker of postural control. Read the preprint 👇 dx.doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.… #gait #balance #neurophysiology
